__toString() ​

Use the translated section name as the string representation.

View source

Returns ​

string

addSiteSettingsErrors() ​

Adds site-specific errors to the model.

View source

Arguments ​

attributeLabels() ​

Returns the attribute labels.

Attribute labels are mainly used for display purpose. For example, given an attribute firstName, we can declare a label First Name which is more user-friendly and can be displayed to end users.

By default an attribute label is generated using generateAttributeLabel(). This method allows you to explicitly specify attribute labels.

Note, in order to inherit labels defined in the parent class, a child class needs to merge the parent labels with child labels using functions such as array_merge().

View source

Returns ​

array – Attribute labels (name => label)

getConfig() ​

Since
3.5.0

Returns the section’s config.

View source

Returns ​

array

getEntryTypes() ​

Returns the section's entry types.

View source

Returns ​

craft\models\EntryType[]

getHasMultiSiteEntries() ​

Since
3.0.35

Returns whether entries in this section support multiple sites.

View source

Returns ​

boolean

getSiteIds() ​

Returns the site IDs that are enabled for the section.

View source

Returns ​

integer[]

getSiteSettings() ​

Returns the section's site-specific settings, indexed by site ID.

View source

Returns ​

craft\models\Section_SiteSettings[]

init() ​

Initializes the object.

This method is invoked at the end of the constructor after the object is initialized with the given configuration.

View source

setEntryTypes() ​

Since
3.1.0

Sets the section's entry types.

View source

Arguments ​

setSiteSettings() ​

Sets the section's site-specific settings.

View source

Arguments ​

validatePreviewTargets() ​

Validates the preview targets.

View source

validateSiteSettings() ​

View source

Protected Methods ​

MethodDescription
defineRules()Returns the validation rules for attributes.
extractFieldsFor()Extract nested fields from a fields collection for a given root field Nested fields are separated with dots (.). e.g: "item.id" The previous example would extract "id".
extractRootFields()Extracts the root field names from nested fields.
resolveFields()Determines which fields can be returned by toArray().

defineRules() ​

Since
3.4.0

Returns the validation rules for attributes.

See rules() for details about what should be returned.

Models should override this method instead of rules() so EVENT_DEFINE_RULES handlers can modify the class-defined rules.

View source

Returns ​

array
